Not only because you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/inspiration\/\">pack a selection of swimsuits and sandals<\/a>, but because you\u2019ll need to leave a bit more time for the planning process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that in 2023, we are just about through the huge backlog of weddings that were postponed in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. The less good news is that <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/destination-wedding-trends-2023\/\">destination weddings are more popular<\/a> than ever and securing your first choice for date and venue may be trickier than ever before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we&#8217;ll share why you need to plan your destination wedding far enough in advance and the benefits of doing so. It\u2019s worth it, we promise! And of course we\u2019ll discuss more specifically exactly how far in advance you should book your destination wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Far in Advance Should You

times that you and your fiance want. Plus, you\u2019ll be more likely to find the perfect venue for your own specific needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime weekend days are the first to get booked up early, so if you really want a Saturday wedding, you will need to be organized!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longer that you wait to book, the more likely it is that you will need to be flexible and host your wedding on a Friday, Sunday, Monday or even mid-week. There is nothing wrong with hosting your wedding on one of these days, but some couples really do want to have their ceremony on a Saturday &#8211; plus, Saturday weddings tend to be easiest on your guests&#8217; travel schedules as most resorts require at least a 3-night minimum stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem obvious, but the best and most high quality resorts are the first ones to be snapped up by couples. You don\u2019t want to be left with only lower quality resorts as options because you were holding out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the further you book your destination wedding, the better <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/average-cost-destination-wedding\/\">wedding pricing<\/a> you will find.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, our team will work closely with you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vxlXIYahczo&amp;t=3s\">secure a contract from the resort<\/a>. So even if (more like, <em>when<\/em>) the hotel increases their prices over the 18 months between the time you selected your resort and your wedding day, you will have a guaranteed rate for you and your guests no matter what. This offers huge peace of mind for you, especially for any stragglers in the group who wait until last minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will also own the inventory of rooms, so there is no chance that you won\u2019t be able to reserve the correct number of rooms you need, even if the hotel sells out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_to_hotel_perks\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to hotel perks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a big one that most people don\u2019t think about.

You&#8217;re probably reading this and it may seem counterintuitive to everything we already shared with you. But there are a few reasons why we recommend 12-18 months as the sweet spot. Here are the three big reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flight schedules are typically released about 13 months in advance so people won&#8217;t have any sense of flight availability.<\/li>\n<li>New resorts may be built that open up additional venue options.<\/li>\n<li>Resorts are less inclined to offer perks that far out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recap_How_far_in_advance_to_plan_a_destination_wedding\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recap: How far in advance to plan a destination wedding\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We really hope that this article has given you some guidance around how far in advance you should book your destination wedding.
